Looks great!

OK so this was very first batch, it is an Irish red ale from northern brewer. The first reading i took when the Wert was transferred to my carboy after my boil, it was 1.044. Then after my airlock stopped bubbling for three days i transferred to my secondary carboy and took another reading and...

I just took a hydrometer reading right before i transferred to my secondary and it seems off. The first one was at 1.040 and now its at 1.008 it has been fermenting since 29 April and today is May 8th, my temp is 68 degrees and the kit is an Irish red ale. Is there something wrong?

Sentfromspain, Myself and a few friends just started brewing and we have the same problem. After doing some research i found two sites in Spain http://www.cervezasdelmundo.com/index.php and http://www.masmalta.com/ . I haven't ordered from them yet, hopefully this helps.

Everyone, thanks for the advice. I pitched new yeast last night and when i came home from work i heard a sweet sound. Blurp,Blurp

So i don't have to re-hydrate it first, I can just sprinkle it in?

Before i re-pitch the yeast do i have to aerate the wort again?

How much longer should I wait to take a gravity reading?

:confused:My wort temp was 78, my fermenter is at 66, i didn't check my yeast date and my gravity was 1.044. i didn't know i could repitch a new yeast batch. Wouldn't that make my beer taste yeasty? :confused:

OK everyone, this was my first brew and i think my yeast is bad (or i messed up). I am making an Irish red ale from northern brewers and i received dry Nottingham ale yeast. I followed the directions to re-hydrate my yeast, but it has been two days and my wort isn't doing anything. Did i ruin it...

Great post

That mini keg is awesome!!!

Gracias, toymaker

No it is not offered here in Spain, i am sure if i looked really hard i might find some. But Butane is everywhere.
